If your files don’t transfer between your iPhone and Mac, there can be a few different reasons for this. Here’s a quick look at the fundamental problems that can arise.
You haven’t set up AirDrop on one or more devices. If you’re trying to use AirDrop to transfer photos and either your Mac or iPhone isn’t responding correctly, you might not have enabled AirDrop. Enable it and try it again. You didn’t set up iCloud. If you haven’t set up iCloud across your devices, you can’t view your files from your web browser. Set it up again. Some photos aren’t viewable on iCloud. Are your most recent images not on iCloud? Make sure your iPhone has a data or internet connection and that it has sufficient charge to upload new files to iCloud. Your Mac won’t recognize your iPhone. Make sure you’ve plugged in the USB cable correctly and that both devices are updated.
If you want this to all happen automatically, consider using iCloud Photo Library. It works the same on your iPhone as it does an iPad.
